In Jainism, the 8 types of karma are:

1. Jñānāvaraṇīya Karma – obscures true knowledge
2. Darśanāvaraṇīya Karma – obscures right perception or intuition
3. Vedanīya Karma – causes pleasure and pain
4. Mohanīya Karma – causes delusion, attachment, and wrong belief
5. Āyuṣya Karma – determines the lifespan of a living being
6. Nāma Karma – determines the body, form, and physical features
7. Gotra Karma – determines social status, family, and lineage
8. Antarāya Karma – obstructs energy, charity, profit, enjoyment, and spiritual effort

These are divided into two broad groups:

• Ghātiyā karmas: destroy or cover the soul’s true qualities

- Jñānāvaraṇīya - Darśanāvaraṇīya - Mohanīya - Antarāya

• Aghātiyā karmas: affect the body and worldly life

- Vedanīya - Āyuṣya - Nāma - Gotra

In Jain Dharma, the goal is to stop the influx of karma and destroy existing karma through right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, austerity, and non-violence.
